Pep Guardiola has delivered a cautiously optimistic update on key players as Manchester City gear up for their upcoming Premier League clash with Everton.
As the run-in intensifies, City are monitoring the progress of midfield anchor Rodri, who continues to recover but has yet to rejoin full team training.
“He is getting better. He still didn’t train with us, so we will see in the next days,” he said. “I am always confident.”
Meanwhile, the defensive unit is also edging closer to full strength, with Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol making steady progress in their recoveries.
“Not yet, but he is getting better. Him, Josko Gvardiol, and Rodri are all improving.”
With crucial fixtures on the horizon, Guardiola’s side will be looking to shift through the gears and regain full squad strength.
As the title race heats up, timely returns could prove decisive in City’s push for silverware.
